Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma species, known collectively as the genital mycoplasmal organisms, are generally considered opportunists that cause invasive infections in susceptible populations.
In humans, both Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma species may be transmitted by direct contact between hosts (ie, venereally through genital-to-genital or oral-to-genital contact), vertically from mother to offspring (either at birth or in utero), or by nosocomial acquisition through transplanted tissues.

Strains of Ureaplasma urealyticum resistant to ciprofloxacin, tetracycline and minocycline were more frequently isolated in HIV+ (34.1%) than HIV- (3.8%) subjects; on the other hand, only 1 out of 704 (0.1%) strains isolated from outpatients was resistant to ciprofloxacin.
